FOR MORE AND BETTER LIVESTOCK Clemson College, Sept. 20.?As an: opening gun in a campaign for more j and better livestock in South Caro-j lina, the Extension Service is holding at Fairfax on Friday, September 12, a meeting of specialists, district ?i?ent3. and county agents of ll.e lower part of the state. This meeting was suggested as a result of a threeday campaign in Barnwell County in j which the need for fences was em-i phasized. In thi^t campaign pieetinfa at Blackville, Barnwell, Wiliiston, Dunbarton, Hilda, and Hercules were ' - M if r . 1 voll utfnnHoH Ktt 1f>ndino? fnrmorc wVift I showed so much interest that the J county agent feels that 8 or 10 cars of wire would be needed to supply! j " the immediate demand. At the Fairfax meeting plans will j be made for a drive for more fences as a first step in the movement, for | it is realized that without ample' fencing no real progress an be madejj in our livestock development. ! As a part of the campaign a bul-j letin on cresoting fence posts, and a circular on the best types of fencing, the importance of forage crops, etc., will be issued as soon as possible. These publications will furnish the general information needed, and the county agents will help in a distribution of this to best advantage and in supplying other information and! help locally. j: Arrangements are being made also ! for the purchase of .Wire fencing at lowest possible rates. Instrutions! concerning special prices will bej given through county agents when j the arrangements have been com-! pleted with manufacturers and dealers. , The campaign will be pushed in the lower part of the state first in, order to help the farmers of the boll 1 "" weevil territory declare their inde- ~ pendence of the weevil, but the work | will laso be carried into every part of the state. VETCH AS A WINTER COVER CROP j Clemson College, Sept. 20.?Vetch I is one of the best, if not the best, winter legumes for South Carolina conditions. It can be grown on any well drained land in the State, although it does .best when planted on the clay types of soils. w '' i %\ /Tf *11 \ 1 Hairy vetcn (. vicia viuosa; ana been found to give the best results in this state, although there are several other good varieties commonly grown. Because of the recument growth of vetch, the best results can be secured onjy when it is planted with some small grain. Appier or Fulghum oats, Red May or Boggs wheat, Abruzzi or Florida rye, and Beardless barley are recommended for this purpose. The seed bed must be thoroughly nlflnfimtf Tho lam/) 1 WVAVAV J/*WHHU(,. auv *W"U ( can be prepared with either a diBk | harraw or a turn plow and afterwards thoroughly harrowed with a smoothing harrow. When vetch is to be planted in cotton, all the preparation that is necessary before planting, if the cotton has been well cultivated, is to run a 15-tooth cultivator over the land. If vetch has never been grown on the land be- j fore, the seed will have to be inocu-! leted. Failure to do tUs will suit in a failure to grow tne cron. m . ? i ? a.
